IMF Tech™ is an innovative, Injection Molded Foam padding system. We start by constructing a mold based on the shape of a real fist with 2.5" of protection over the knuckles and tapering towards the wrist and finger tips. The mold is then injected with a specific formula of liquified foam. After it sets, the foam is removed from the mold resulting in a single layer of thick durable foam padding pre-curved in the shape of a fist. We feel that it's the most advanced padding system you'll find, ideal for extended training sessions, with a premium on comfort and protection. Gel Shock™ gloves employ a high tech 3-layer composite padding system. The first layer is a latex based closed cell foam, the second layer is an open-cell poly foam, and the third is a layer of specialized gel, the latest in impact reduction technology. The gel layer molds to the shape of your fist and spreads the impact over the entire surface instead of focusing on the point of impact. It also absorbs any remaining shock that passes the first 2-layers of closed and open cell foams to help keep the damaging force of a punch at bay. You can also find Gel Shock™ technology applied to Punch Mitts. The Quad-Layer Impact Foam™ system consists of four molded layers of foam bonded together to create the ideal combinatioin for absorbing shock and maintaining the protective integrity of the glove. The foam composite is then wrapped in a water resistant lining to help keep the gloves from absorbing sweat. With out this seal, other gloves gain water weight which detracts from their ability to absorb shock and shortens their usable life span. We feel that there is no better training glove available. Dome Air Technology™ is Four layers of engineered polymers combined with strategically placed air pockets that dispurse the forces from hard blows. As the shock is transmitted from the contact point inward, each layer (dense closed cell Rubitex foam, shock-dispersing polymer supplex, closed-cell PVC, and soft open-cell foam) proportionally reduces the energy from the impact before it reaches the wearer. The air chambers aid the process by using the trapped air to eliminate the energy. Close Window
